Bom Mesmo É Amar

Jorge Ben Jor's song 'Bom Mesmo É Amar' is a celebration of love's enduring power and simplicity. The lyrics emphasize the importance of love over trivial conflicts and mockery. The repeated phrases 'Deixa falar, deixa zombar, deixa brincar' (Let them talk, let them mock, let them play) suggest a carefree attitude towards the opinions and actions of others. Instead of getting caught up in negativity, the song encourages focusing on the positive force of love, encapsulated in the line 'Pois bom mesmo é amar' (Because the best thing is to love).

The song also touches on the natural human tendency to argue and tease, as seen in the lines 'A gente fala, a gente zomba, a gente briga, mas depois ama' (We talk, we mock, we fight, but then we love). This reflects the ups and downs of relationships, where misunderstandings and conflicts are inevitable, but love ultimately prevails. Jorge Ben Jor's straightforward and heartfelt approach to discussing love makes the song relatable and endearing.

Moreover, the lyrics 'Eu não sei falar muito bem, mas sei falar bem de amor' (I don't speak very well, but I speak well of love) highlight the idea that one doesn't need to be eloquent to express genuine feelings. Love is a universal language that transcends words. The song concludes with a reminder of love's necessity, 'Pra que brigar? Pra que zombar? Se um dia todos tem que precisar' (Why fight? Why mock? If one day everyone will need it). This reinforces the message that love is essential and something everyone will eventually seek.
